Average sales price down
House prices in the
North Harbour News
circulation area continue
to fluctuate significantly,
with the average sales
price for September
coming in at $371,000.
This has pulled the
average sales price for
the past 12 months back
to $456,000, Barfoot &
Thompson managing
director Peter Thompson
says.
The number of homes
being sold remains con-
sistent with sales 12
months ago. However, to
achieve sales sellers
need to meet the market.
In the current market
for this area, the market
is valuing homes lower
than they were 12
months ago.
Areas of greatest sales
activity in September
were Gulf Harbour,
Manly, Orewa and
Stanmore Bay.
Reaching for the stars
Infection injection:
Professor Mick Roberts
received funding to
research infectious
diseases.
Funding for finding:DrIan
Bond received funding to
find 'orphan planets'.
Researchers at Massey
University s Albany cam-
pus have been awarded
prestigious Marsden
funding to find new
orphan planets and to
predict the spread of
infectious diseases.
Computer scientist
and astrophysicist Dr
Ian Bond received
$715,000 to continue his
work using software he
has developed which led
to the discovery earlier
this year of free-floating
orphan planets -- once
the subject of science fic-
tion.
The three-year Mars-
den grant will enable
him to continue the
study to identify the
abundance of planets
that do not orbit a star,
he says.
Dr Bond, based at the
Institute of Information
and Mathematical
Sciences, says his
research has major
implications for under-
standing the dynamics of
solar systems.
He has analysed data
from telescopic camera
recordings by a 1.8 metre
telescope at Mount John
University observatory
at Lake Tekapo. It has
captured variations in
the brightness of some
50 million stars in the
Milky Way galaxy.
Professor Mick Rob-
erts, also based at the
institute, has been
awarded $390,000 for
further research into
developing new math-
ematical models to pre-
dict with greater accu-
racy the patterns of
infectious
disease
spread.
His models, using non-
standard calculus, are
designed to capture the
complexity
of
human social networks.
The resulting com-
puter models will map
the numerous networks
between individuals in
the home, at work, at
school, in public trans-
port, shopping centres
and other settings, to
improve our understand-
ing of how epidemics
spread and to provide a
tool for estimating public
health impacts.
Professor Roberts, a
mathematical biologist,
has received Marsden
funding previously to
work with researchers in
the Netherlands, on the
spread and virulence of
HIV and influenza
viruses.
The Marsden Fund is
administered by the
Royal Society of New
Zealand, on behalf of the
government.
